Previous Thread: >>5599760
We finally have confirmation of all seven of the original non-Horrorcon Headmasters. Which ones do you like the most from these Deluxes?
>>5600719
Hope Snapdragon gets a proper toy
Guess he could also be retooled as TR Grimlock
>>5600733
Considering that Apeface is getting released in Titan Masters wave 2, Snapdragon may only get a head release as well. I'm not a big Horrorcon fan, but it does seem to be a shame that there won't be a proper figure for the two of them for now.
Hasbro seems to acknowledge that people want new versions of them though, so they gave Apeface a TM vehicle that is pretty much a mini Apeface.
No really crazy about the colors except for Mindwipes, but then again I really don't like late G1 colors.Would be all over these as BW redecoes, though.
so huh.
what would the robot mode be on that Leozack torso?
a giant cat? it still has the claws off skylynx it seems
can anyone with skylynx try and figure out a humanoid mode for it?
>>5600733
Good luck on that. Even based Takara won't come through for us.
>>5600745
Dude, just accept that it's just sky lynx with a new combiner head.
>>5600745
Just wait for the takara release with a new 2 robot torso and better tank/drilltank
>>5600733
>TR Grimlock
Funny that you mention that, actually!
>>5600755
>takara release with a new 2 robot torso
later retooled for Gaia Guardian?
Now that I think about it, since they're making both the headmasters and Overlord, does that means well see (from Takara) new Headmasters Junior toys and maybe a little more proper God Ginrai (with the addon armor)?
>>5600766
Why did you sparse overlord from the headmasters?
>>5600768
>Is it confirmed that Takara will do Leokaiser?
No but they have done every combiner we have gotten in CW. And Liokaiser is one of the more well known Combiners in the Japanese fandom purely on the fact that he beat the shit out of his Star Saber in his first outing. It would be like Hasbro not doing Bruticus for CW.
>that TFSource Tracks sale
>only get money in on the 13th, when it'll be twice as expensive
You know, I'd like to ask someone here to just buy it now, and send it to me, and in return I give them 10 bucks more than it and the shipping after I'm paid. They get a little money, I save on what I would have bought, and I'm not totally left out of this sale.
BUUUT... just typing it and I think 'well I wouldn't agree to that, there's no way to hold the guy to his word about the money'. And I don't want to be seen as a scammer. So nevermind I guess.
>>5600768
>Is it confirmed that Takara will do Leokaiser?
Not yet but look how much effort they put into fucking Computron of all things, they're pretty much guaranteed to release a retooled version of their own original character.
They'll get a lot more nostalgiabux from Japs than Hasbro will with their Leokaiser
>>5600766
The transmission podcasts rumors say they are going to do God Ginrai somehow. As for the Headmaste Jrs and other non-Ginrai/Overlord Godmasters that is doubtful.
>>5600771
Because Overlord is the villain in Super-God Masterforce, where the Headmasters Juniors and God Ginrai appear
>>5600778
>unless its a huge retool to turn a buggy into a dual drilltank
they turned a six-wheeler APC into a drilltank and a jeep, I can afford the thought
>>5600774
THIS.
if they could do 3 retools for computron, they could do 2 for leokaizer
>>5600777
Well, yeah, I thought you were seperating by gimmick but I reckon this new Overlord is a headmaster.
>>5600779
well maybe a retool of nosecone would work.
but it would have to interacti with the theoretical mold of thier leozack
I enjoyed this year's display. I wish they'd do more shit like it.
>>5600785
They can just repaint Nosecone and put a new head there for Drillhorn. There is like three ways to pull off the main torso.
1) Redo silverbolt as Leozack and put Jarugar there as a minicon or minicon targetmaster
i. Or redo Jarugar as an extra Combiner limb
2) Brand new molds for Jarugar and Leozack so he is a six piece combiner like Devastator, but with limb swapping.
>>5600794
Are there more pictures of that display? I agree it's looks amazing.
>>5600798
There's good coverage of it and the individual toy displays here: http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/04/08/botcon-2016-hasbro-titans-return-display-images-312762
>>5600808
I wonder if Cerebros will also be a triplechanger for extra playability when using FM base mode
Fat chance I know
>>5600820
This new design team seems to really be gunning for the 3rd party audience.
What are some good bikeformers?
When is the wave coming out?
Summer?
Last time I check Hasbo's video ad says Fall 2016
So is it true that the guy who bought up the TM3 Megatrons was from BBTS?
>>5600719
CHOOT 'EM, Loup Garou, and flying rat in that order. Now i'm going to have to track down that Troy Landry action figure i passed on some months ago!
>>5600823
This is the "worst" I have and it's nowhere near this new hasbro stuff
>>5600826
They deny it, but everyone's saying that BBTS has a large stock of Megatrons at their table.
>>5600820
I know what you mean. I despise details on my robots. If it's not bare, flat plastic then it's worthless to me too.
did TFSource really get thrown out?
>>5600820
they want to compete with superior 3P design
but not in the gimmick department
>>5600836
You're being sarcastic, but minimalistic detail has been the standard for high end super robot toys for a while.
>>5600808
I love the little scenes they set up. So much violence.
Also I believe this is the first time we've gotten a clear look at the Titan Master neck connection.
>>5600794
>giant glass walls
>bald middle aged men
>no children
every year
>>5600844
Oh, absolutely. I need all of my robots to be designed in the exact same manner too. It bothers me when I look at a robot toy and it doesn't comply with the status quo in terms of details.
>>5600844
>tfw i can never own any GGG toy
>>5600844
Isn't it mostly because most high-end robot toys are trying to emulate 80s animation models? Which isn't to say that it's bad, but it's certainly the main factor for the smoothness.
>>5600794
It felt like a real battle.
with characters getting killed and suplexed.
>>5600848
Who is that with the translucent purple plastic?
>>5600838
No, the booth was closed off for a while due to them handing out flyers for a separate event, then reopened with security posted at the table.
Frankly it was boneheaded to hand out a flyer with "MEGA 3rd PARTY MEETUP" in large letters at an official convention. They should've just did a general flyer for an external store with clever phrasing, and put the more direct word out online, Every con I've been to that advertised outside of con events that where risqué or not allowed within the con used indirect phrasing to allude to it.
>>5600854
It really felt like the display people had fun putting it all together.
>>5600844
You say, despite posting two super robots covered in greeble and detail.
>>5600848
>That white Blast-off on the background who isn't giving a single fuck to the whole mega battle and just wants to listen to fresh beats on his boombox
>>5600848
who's the purple/white/black jetbot jamming to a tablet boombox style
>>5600824
ROTF Arcee
Energon High Wire
>>5600853
This. It's actually completely backwards to think the design of GGG is smooth due to high-end collector sensibilities.
>>5600858
Sweep from the Sweep Platinum 3-pack
>>5600719
Mindwipe's wing to leg transformation is just...so awesome. I am equally psyched for all three, though. I even have notWeirdwolf and notMindwipe (never got around to getting notSkullcruncher), but I am so happy these guys are getting official releases
>>5600778
The weapon thing is an arms micron. the one that turns into a bird.
>>5600745
>what would the robot mode be on that Leozack torso?
>a giant cat? it still has the claws off skylynx it seems
Word is it'll be Deathzaurus. There's really no way to humanoid Sky Lynx without HEAVY heavy retooling, which that torso doesn't seem to have.
>>5600755
If you really think Takara is going to make two new figures that combine to be a torso, you are a naive little princess that is up way past her bedtime.
>>5600866
G2 blastoff
>>5600872
I want these so bad.
>>5600866
That is G2 Fruticus' Blast-Off.
>>5600879
Takara made a new BlastOff and Groove so anything is possible.
>>5600892
Those are limbs. Not 2 robots that combine to make a sturdy torso to hold 4 other robots. Huge difference.
>>5600755
>better tank/drilltank
Takara will almost definitely use UW Nosecone as UW Drillhorn
>>5600795
>another silverbolt cosplay
no. a thousand times no.
Rhetorical question since I'm sure I know the answer, but if I want the little Titan Master guys to actually look good (i.e., have paint) I'm going to have to spring for the TakTom versions, correct?
>>5600844
> Hundreds of dollars
> Not even a proper ankle tilt
GG
>>5600925
Sure wanting paint is nice till it starts rubbing off from use in the connector post held by friction.
>>5600900
You think Takara can't handle the engineering? They are the actual people that Hasbro goes to do the actual engineering for the majority of TF toys. All the Generation stuff was actually made by them.
>>5600932
I never said they couldn't (different person from who you've been talking to) I'm saying making limbs is a completely different scenario than a 2 piece torso. It doesn't make sense to compare.
>>5600926
GGG has ankle tilts and Goldymarg doesn't really have ankles in the show, so the figure is accurate.
>>5600849
Sucks to be a pedo in botcon, right greg?
>>5600932
>All the Generation stuff was actually made by them.
Understatement of the century. Try "pretty much everything from every main line except the energon Dinobots"
>>5600945
>Goldymarg doesn't really have ankles in the show, so the figure is accurate.
Neither does The Iron Giant, yet that thread about Mondo's went down in flames due to ankle tilt shit posters.
>>5600952
And those awful Crossover figures..
>>5600961
>yet that thread
If someone acts like a retard, is that an excuse for you to act like a retard?
>>5600963
Marvel ones aren't too bad. Wouldn't mind them reissuing them as an Avengers tie-in
off topic;
Does anyone have a link to those nice plastic risers? I really need some for my shelves.
>>5600878
Yes, but less greebles is not no greebles, which is not only what you were implying when you posted, but what people like >>5600820 seem to want.
I mean, yeah, GGG is a sheet of construction paper next to fucking Hexatron's lumpy space ninja ass, but the headmasters in the OP all have pretty basic tech detailing that add to the their designs, rather than taking anything away. Mindwipe might be overdoing it a bit, but both Wolfwire(or what the hell ever his name is now) and Skullcruncher have an excellent balance.
>>5600972
>crossover hulk
Only one of the two decent designs from that line. The second one is captain america.
>>5600979
I may get G2 CW Bruticus once it's cheap. Skipped the standard CW one because I have both the Superlink/FP and Fruity ones.
>>5600997
>decent
Most of the line fit that description. Could've made them a size smaller though.
>>5600997
There were 3. The 2 you mentioned and this guy
>>5601013
Ow the edge
>>5601011
Those 2 were small though. 2 pack and all.
>>5600998
Is FOC Bruticus a good set to have? How does he compare to CW?
>>5601018
Not today. Back when it came out it was nice to have a proper combiner again, but now CW has rendered it obsolete.
We know deluxe groove is available online in May but where online?
>>5601018
Compared to CW, FOC Bruticus is worth absolutely NOTHING.
The Wreckers retools may be worth exploring though.
>>5600948
All transfags are pedos apparently.
>>5601038
Hahaha. That still looks like shit.
>>5601049
If you look at current RiD warriors, you could say that it was "ahead of its time"
>>5601058
No. It looks like shit.
>>5601016
It's Ghost Rider. "Ow the Edge" is his entire schtick.
hey brottrerinos, does someone have the "quickdraw hound" and the voyager hound from AOE? i need a pic side to side (for scientific reasons)
>>5600861
Totally.
Same with that person who did Chromedome and Rewind together in the display.
>>5601062
I swear that cavemen browse these generals with the amount of thickness I see.
>>5601036
Probably at the same places Quickslinger and Brake-neck were available last year.
>>5601018
Not really, maybe just to mess with the individual bots, but combined mode is a floppy mess
>>5601069
They do a display like this every year. I feel like people completely forget. The last year I went had Decepticons tearing apart multiple Autobots.
>>5601068
What do you want to know?
>>5600794
So is Fort Max taller than Metroplex?
>>5601079
Yes
>>5601077
well, i want to buy both and swap heads, so i need to compare the sizes of the heads
>>5601076
I don't remember last years.
any pics of that.
>>5601072
Which is?
>>5601071
Don't tell them!
>>5601071
Because someone knows how shitty the foc bruticus molds look and not try to steer off in to another toy line? Weird.
>>5601086
I don't think it'd be easy.

>>5601093
Legit mental block going on there.
>>5601072
Hasbro brought those 2 into Singapore as a standard wave last year. The whole case was entirely made of them 50/50, which kinda ruined the assortment on the shelves and warmed it up for a bit.
Not sure if I want full shelves of deluxe Grooves...
Anyone have body suggestions for the TM dudes?
>>5601107
You're denying the shittiness of it? Speak for yourself.
>>5601113
you sound familiar.
>>5601102
heh, i know how to cut plastic, but the only thing that i need is a picture of the both hounds together
Why does this scale look so good? Why does it make me want to pay $150 for a Henkei Dinobot even though it's a severely dated and frankly below average figure? Why do I want Legends Commander Primal over MP Primal? Why does CHUG Cheetor look so bad?
>>5601110
it's bullshit you guys get them as shelfwarmers while the west has to buy them online.
anyways folks Hasbro Afterburner has the Takara head after all so yay!
yeah i know the rest still suck (outside of Scrounge and Strafe to an extent).
>>5601128
Legends primal always looks like he was left by a window in a very sunny location.
>>5601118

Will this do? that's all I've got to offer.
>>5600824
The ROTF Scout molds, Knockout and Brimstone.
>>5600892
Takara also was able to retool them for Computron.
>>5601128
Was Cheetor actually taller than Primal?
>>5601110
Anyone from Singapore headed to the Philippines in June? I wanna get one of those deluxe Grooves.

...This, you might not have the engine folded as far as you need to. Maybe. I know it's a bit weird to line up but once you get it down right it's easy.
>>5601110
God.

>>5601133
holy... how i didn't see that pic before? thank you in so many levels!
>>5601128
>Why does this scale look so good
It doesn't. Dinobot is supposed to be taller than Rhinox, and Cheetor should be smaller than Primal.
Hey /tfg/, redpill me on CW Breakdown. I keep hearing about how much he sucks but he's my favorite CW Stunticon mold. Why does everyone hate him?
>inb4 contrarian bait
I'm serious though, I really like Breakdown

If you own it but don't hate it you are beyond helping.

Holy shit. Deluxes here are ~17 USD, and I thought that was already pushing it.
>>5601176
>fuck you for having your own opinion
>>5601161
the proportions are shit and the hips are shit
I'd still rather have it than ANOTHER Dead End mold though.
>>5601161
I think the biggest complaint about him are the hips, other than that he's fine to me, he's just the least good out of all the other limbs
>>5601161
i agree with you hes one of my Fav CW deluxes
>>5601161
I have the Autobot retools (Prowl, Ironhide, Mirage, Sunstreaker) of the Stunticons and I have to say Breakdown/Sunny is my least favourite because of the way his kibble hangs off the back of him, and how blocky his legs feel compared to his arms.
Mirage's back kibble twists and pegs nicely, Prowl's folds down and up neatly and Ironhide's can at least have his combiner hand/foot wedged in there to give him extra shoulder artillery, Movieverse style. The most Sunstreaker can do is give himself ungainly smokestacks, like your pic related.
I don't dislike any of them, though.
>>5601161
I'm just happy they have a 2nd mold for street cars instead of just painting/retooling DeadEnd all day.
>>5601161
Going to replace mine with War Breakdown when Galvatronus ships.
>>5601111
Terribul: Highbrow.
Nightbeat: Blurr.
Siren: Highbrow and I want to say Soundwave, but without the helmet, the head would look too small.
Squeezeplay: Mindwipe,and Astrotrain
Flywheels: Chromedome, Sentinel Prime, and Hardhead
Apeface: Astrotrain, maybe Galvatron
Grimlock: No idea
Brawn: Hardhead, Highbrow, and Chromedome

>those hollow legs
>people will defend this
>>5601275
Meh. I'm just glad to have a passable Ratchet.
>>5601275
It's just a Strongarm retool. What's the problem?
>>5601275
RID should have stopped trying doing Autobots after that first wave and just stuck with giving us all those sweet animalbots.
Having 0 Decepticons besides Steeljaw for 4 waves is a terrible idea for a kids line where you need bad guys for your good guys to fight.
>>5601275
Looking at the hinges on the lower legs, it seems like the back part of the ambulance folds into the hollow legs. So maybe you can half-unfold them to make it look less hollow...if that triggers you?
>>5601281
I got Megatronus, Fracture, and Quillfire right now and I recommend all 3.
Still looking for a Thunderhoof, but I'm definitely getting him when I do. Also Bisk.

Is it just me or are his legs longer than the standard Brawl? He looks better proportioned and less ape-like.
>>5601079
Only slightly, due to the much bigger head.

Anyone happen to be getting rid of individual UW autobots? I'm just looking for Tak Sunstreaker.
Ok, so we're apparently getting only 6 more legends in TR if we assume the next part of the Prime Wars trilogy is coming out in summer 2017. Of those 6, 3 are probably already taken by repaints (Frenzy, Eject, and Steeljaw), so what do you assume will be the last 3?
Assuming the same for Deluxes, we have 8 spots, and 2 are already filled, so what do you think the last 6 will have?
>>5600719
Mmmmmmm
Buying 3-5 Weirdwolves and engineering them into a permawolf zoids platoon. Gonna chop shop the shit out of them with bionicle joints. It's gonna be a good year. Wonder if they will recolor it.

No seriously. Have you seen wolfangs chin? A titan master will have a hard time standing with that.
3-way tie.
Although as characters I always liked Mindwipe more, so I guess him.
So I walked into my room and found what my brother did
>>5601508
If we get most of the standard cassette assortment, the last legend will include Ratbat, and Ramhorn with one last figure that could be anything.
Deluxe class already has Gateway, and Brainstorm. Since they keep releasing movie bots, they might include a Hot Rod since he hasn't gotten a normal toy in forever (I don't count the Legends). I want to say the last 5 will include the second stringer Headmasters, (with Hosehead being a voyager along with Apeface and Snapdragon) but that's just wishful thinking.
>>5601572
>those passive-aggressive comments about how Japan handle him/her.
They have a lot of those when it come to anything Japanese. It's like they're ashamed to even type anything related to JP transformers fiction.
>>5601581
That's not surprising. Based Sakamoto had a panel at the con and literally no one covered it.
>>5601590
Wait, really? I know Sakamoto's controversial, but it's not like we can just talk about his work at Takara instead of what he puts up on his pixiv or sells at comiket.

This is great. If Takara heavily retools Brainstorm, then these guys will end up being perfect.
>>5601606
Just because he likes a aspect of sakamoto doesn't mean he likes all his aspects.
Nice attempt at a sage btw, been a while since I saw one of those.
>>5601615
On the Japan articles, the TFW always seems to treat them as if they were mindless rubbish. Some things aren't great, and sometimes its offensive to western audiences, but there's need for the article to have a clear bias towards it.
I'll post some examples:
-In the jovial Japanese dub of Beast Machines, most of the characters underwent major changes to ratchet up the satirical comedy. Nightscream was turned into a, well, flaming homosexual in the Japanese version. Like all characters in the dub, he had his own vocal tic: A habit of chanting and repeating "Fuu!", which was the catchphrase of Japanese comedian Masaki Sumitani when performing his "Hard Gay" persona (which was popular in the early '00s). Nightscream also became obsessed with fashion and style, making various comments like an effeminate, preening fashionista. His petname for Rattrap was "Aunty". Silverbolt spent more time with Nightscream than he did Blackarachnia, as they were both flyers, which often incited angry commentary from the jealous fembot (who derisively referred to them as the "homo-tachi" or "gay boys"). Silverbolt would constantly deny her accusations, insisting he wasn't gay. Stay classy, Japan.

And since this was altered in the last few years, pretty much everything related to Arcee's treatment in the Headmasters anime. I should also mention they didn't react that badly to IDW's Arcee, but they sure hate that now.

I don't see why somebody can't edit out instances of personal opinion.

Do you like looking at little boys too?

If it jives with Walky, he keeps the articles that way. If you tried taking the personal opinions out, he'll just revert the changes, accuse you of being sexist/racist/homophobic etc..., and ban you.
>>5601624
You're pretty salty over the words "Stay classy, Japan".

No, Do you like every piece of peoples works you like?

I do though senpai.
>>5601644
Just do it discreetly?
>>5601655
They normally revert articles if you don't specify what you changed.
So I know someone from whom I can get a complete TFCC Astrotrain for a reasonable price. I'm not familiar with the mold as Jetfire(?), but I like his size, overall look, and that fact that he has an interior compartment in shuttle mode. What are your thoughts on him?
>>5601659
I like the mold, but there's no real thigh articulation, just a swivel. He has pretty good articulation everywhere else except there.
>>5601657
Geez louise, talk about gestapo.
Maybe this is the wrong place because this looks like a bunch of shit posting but I don't see any other Transformers thread. Does anyone know if the HLJ.com pre-order for MP Optimus Primal included the mace accessory? It's specified on the bbts pre-order but that one is like 30 dollars more than at HLJ and 10 more than the standard one at bbts.
>>5601659
having owned the Jetfire version of the mold
pluses: great shuttle mode. Best in franchise? (can't say for sure, never owned Sky Lynx) makes better legs for Armada Optimus Prime than his trailer.
cons: limited articulation in legs. cargo bay is pretty small in default mode. iirc you can adjust his robot mode arms in vehicle mode to expand the cargo bay, though
>>5601672
>mace
Nope, thats a hasbro asia exclusive.
Premium collectables DOES do it though if you don't mind ordering via an australian site, not sure if others like tf source do though, you'd best ask them directly.
Also avoid bbts, after the botcon shit buying up all those exclusive megatrons its clear they're assholes

This isn't confirmed.

>huge immobile chunk of plane shaped plastic kibble on her back

>weird ass big circle molding in the center of her chest with no robo-titty molding
>no nose
>improvement over the generations mold.
u wot m9? If it wasn't for the alt-mode and the paint apps on her head you wouldn't even be able to tell it's her.
>>5601680
>Also avoid bbts, after the botcon shit buying up all those exclusive megatrons its clear they're assholes
No confirmation who did it, and no one cares about some convention toy. If you want an overpriced piece of plastic, you can buy 3P shit or MP's like the rest of us.
So TF Source got shut down again after they managed to get back after their 3p fest in another hotel.
>>5601264
Same as CW
>>5601696
What? Really? Lets see some proof. This is fucking hilarious if it's true.
>>5601693
>no nose
This isn't a valid complaint when we're talking about guys like optimus prime and soundwave
>no robotitty molding
Nor did the original windblade, infact only bot I can think off done with tiddies is the new black aracnia
The rest of your argument is fair

>If you want an overpriced piece of plastic, you can buy 3P shit or MP's like the rest of us.
I will when one of those overpriced pieces of plastic is based on one of my favorite characters. But BW barely gets any love from 3P, so no.(I did preorder MP Primal)
>>5601659
I own it. It's alright. Certainly a piece of it's time. Don't expect anything dynamic in posing options as he lacks forward and back hips, with his arms being a tad short. His new head is a tad bug eyed with an expression that has the look as if someone as popped him a left field question.
His size and alt mode are great. Despite not triple changing, he scratches that Astrotrain itch as a stand one finds something better.
As an old exclusive piece, he's great for the novelty with the mini-cons he comes with being a nice Marvel influenced touch.
>>5601710
To be fair, no one seems to give it any love. It's the redheaded stepchild of the series, moreso than Kiss Players by this point.
>>5601712
>that thousand yard stare
Astrotrain has indeed seen some shit.
>>5601624
This is amazing. I may have to track down the Japanese eps now.
>>5601710
>those unpainted eyes
Holy shit. Why.
>>5601713
>It's the redheaded stepchild of the series, moreso than Kiss Players by this point.
kinda true in a way.
Autotroopers have more toys than some beloved BW characters. Not to diss the Autotroopers though, i lvoe them
>>5601715
Well think of all those other bots they've been inside of him.
>>5601713
I mean, Takara's giving it enough love, which is why I've decided to support them as much as possible.
I mean, hell, I don't want to support FP, but they gave me a new BW Megatron that I wanted for 10 years, so I do care. and so did other people. which is why the group of people each buying 10 Megatrons each on Saturday was really low.
>>5601716
I see your a classy guy.
>>5601721
>think of all those other bots they've been inside of him
>>5601717
So you can buy the Magnaboss sticker sheet!(400 made, btw. When there's 850 Megatrons on the market...)
>>5601723
They should've kept a hard limit of 1 per customer then. People are scum, and scalpers love to be assholes.
>>5601704
>"hur dur it was I was there"
That's such an easy thing to lie about. Example,
>"No Groove, Mark Weber told me it failed a drop test" Botcon 2015
>>5601713
That's sad. It seems G2 is getting more love these days...not that that's a bad thing, G2 was my introduction to Transformers... Maybe some day.
>>5601717
Why? Because Funpub, that's why.
I'm sure nobody here cares, but does the little space shuttle have a name, and does anyone have pics of the robot mode? I'm just calling him Special Arm right now.
>>5601730
It will probably take another 10-30 years.
My reasoning being thats when everyone in power at Hasbro who loved G1 will be ousted due to being too old, and then the very next Transformers property after G1 (because G2 didn't HAVE a cartoon, just G1 reruns with CGI switchovers), was BW.
